Hey everybody! Thanks for tuning in. Just a quick correction that many fans have already pointed out:
-The timeline has been retconned (only further adding to the confusion). It used to be DMC3->DMC1->DMC4->DMC5->DMC2. But now it's DMC3->DMC1_>DMC2->DMC4->DMC5
Enjoy the video!
DMC2 never came after DMCV
Aren't you sure it's not DMC4 -> DMC2 -> DMC5? At the end of DMC2 Dante goes to hell, and he comes back from hell during DMC5.
Very nice video!
@@lolknight4364 no. he came out of hell at the end of dmc2
LN2233 thanks for the information! I never played DMC2 again (you imagine easily why) so it was hard for me to know ;-) ahaha
Creator confirm it. Also its not confusing at all as Dante in DMC 2 look younger than DMC 4 Dante. Also Rebelion get destroyed in DMC 5
You know I'm glad someone actually took the time to do this properly. Every time I saw a "History of DMC" video pop up on my feed it was just a bunch of gameplay videos for each game in release order. Not sure how that would even qualify as a "History" video but for a lot of those history of videos, for any franchise, that's all that there is, gameplay with no actual history on the game.
They confirmed that the DMC timeline has changed. Here are all the DMC games and a tv anime series in chronological order:
DMC 3
DMC 1
DMC The Animated Series
DMC 2
DMC 4
DMC 5
Thanks for the tip. When did they change this? I saw multiple timelines and articles when i was making this last month that pointed to the error i made.
Changing the timeline was a great decision by Capcom because DMC2 was a shit and nobody wants their favorite franchise ends with a shit game but still this timeline creates a plot hole like how the hell Dante was came out of hell
@@v-trigger6137 I guess we'll see how the story plays out in 5 otherwise that will just be a plothole that gets no closure.
@@spndusk2362 yeah I hope so but there's a very little chance since Hideki wants to forget that he ever worked on that shit so I don't think he will connect 5 with that shit but if they wants to improve the story and avoid the plot holes so it's better they connect with it
@@v-trigger6137 Dante explains how he got out in the dmc5 prequel novel. He is talking to the old bitch from dmc2 and he explains it.
you deserve a lot more views likes and subscribers
I love how Dante’s sword Alastor, is the same Alastor in Viewtiful Joe just manifested.
I was expecting a video showcasing the dmc in release order and just some gameplay with no commentary. But the commentary highlighting important info about DMC made the video so much better
Awesome video! I finally got the HD Collection for Devil May Cry. I remember watching my cousins play it when I was younger and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Hopefully I finish the game before DMC 5 comes out!
DMC 1 needs a remake. Seriously, I was mindblown when I saw this on E3 2001. I played the shit outta this back in the days, still do every year. The sequels never gave me such feeling as with the first one. Just an amazing game and the atmosphere in the caste plus the music is godly. And Dante's appearance in the first game is just amazing, no cocky cringy teenager just a badass demon hunter with epic one liners. Oh man, and the enemies and bosses those are badass, I'm happy to see some old enemies return in DMC 5, like the Sin Scissors, Nobodies and a swordsman who resembled Nelo Angelo. Although those "old" enemies are slightly redesigned. Can't wait to play DMC 5.
i think dmc2 needs a remake so it can stop being the red headed stepchild of the series.
dude if anything is “cringy” its dmc 1 dante and his voice delievery was god damn awful
@@amarson2322 no it was quiet good but eats his own
This was so great! I never got the chance to play the first 3 games or the reboot. My first shot at this series happened in DMC4 which I loved so I'm really looking forward to DMC5!! 😁
I've only played DMC, but thanks to your video, I've bought the remasters and DMC4 so I'm prepared for the DMC5!
So how does DMC4 hold on? Currently playing the game.
So how does DMC4 hold up? Currently playing it on the PS3.
The timeline has changed, 5 now takes place after 4 as two weeks ago
Fantastic video format! Nothing too opinionistic but not bland and just full of facts either. Just a whole bunch of helpful info for newcomers to the series, which is what I was looking for. Mad props!!
The only thing that needs correction in this video is that dmc 5 actually takes place after dmc 2. But I give this video a 9.5/10
It takes place after dmc 4 as well
@@johnboone678
And now 4 happen after 2 x')
Actually they changed the chronology and pretty much ignored the existance of 2. In the recap Capcom released a few days ago they didn't even mention 2.
It's not like 2 adds anything to the over arching story either.
@@night1952
Yeap! Dante being stuck in hell for a few years is pretty much nothing^^.
They talked about DMC2 un the prequel Book for DMC5.
@@night1952 yeah, actually dmc2 wasnt even made by the group that made 1, Capcom had another group do it while the guys who made 1 worked on a different game
DMC was my favorite all-around! Lol I know, unpopular opinion but still! I really like these videos and I appreciate how much work you put into them!!!
0:39
"... encouraging variety and consistency." *shows DmC Devil May Cry, a game where you could get SSS by spamming one attack*
Before I say anything, let me just say that I love your History Of videos. Anyway, I find it interesting in your DMC4 section you mention that Dante is the lead of the game. Honestly, I feel like Nero is the lead. We see most of the story through his eyes, we start and end the game playing as him and, well, the plot really revolves around him and The Order.
When i say lead character, i mean lead character in the entire series. Not specifically dmc4
im so Hyped for DMC5, especially since that Vergil teaser... just ordered a Vega 56, hope it performs good!
My eyes have been blessed
Wow that sounds awesome! Thanks for the Intel, never played any of the games but I want to get DMC 5 because it looks really good!
I'll look for further information tho to at least understand a bit more of what's going on as soon as I can play it.
DMC 3 was a Masterpiece
Been waiting for this since morning 🙏❤️
Stumbled upon your channel by accident. Subscribed!!!
I'm actually playing through DMC Reboot. Never played it. Its actually a pretty decent game for what it is
DMC reboot was insane, I’ll always love it.
Only complaint I have about the HD remasters is that they lack a lot of effects, like in DMC 1 when you encounter Phantom on the PS2 you would see a heat effects which made the screen a bit blurry and for underwater the same, they completely removed those effects and the music doesn't loop properly. Otherwise it's still a nice collection.
Yeah that's what I meant by "only fans would really notice" because I personally never played those original PS2 games back then, at least not to the point where I would have recognized a change like that. They still play the same way.
Are there any mods that attempt to fix those missing effects?
@@Nick930 Yes, someone made some fixes for the collection don't know if you can download it on the steam workshop but it's definitely there.
I actually liked DmC:Devil May Cry and I think the main reason was because it was the first one I ever played I don't think the reboot was bad but I didn't come from being a fan of the game since the start but starting at the reboot
Its the only one ive been able to get a hang of 🤣
It's a good action game, it's a bad DMC.
DMC2 is the bad one. DmC just isn't a Devil May Cry game, but it's a decent game in general.
The reboot weakest point had to be writing but the combat was okay. sadly not making it as good as DMC3's easy to learn hard to master. But instead they went for a pretty straightforward combat system
@@sanimonz1831
It still had issues it shouldn't have. No lock-on, too many flying enemies, annoying colour-coded enemies, certain moves like Overdrive giving ridiculous style rankings for doing virtually nothing...
Devil may cry 1 gave me a headache on how hard it was so I just went and skipped to 4
Edit: I love the series I still played them....years later
yes...this was me aswell. DC1...tough..but i got good at slashing and gunning....THEN!...Space Harrier boss fight!.
Crap!...lost interest.
I got into the franchise by chance through DMC3 regular edition. It was brutal but fun.
Unpopular opinion but 5 is my favorite because of the RPG elements being gone, never liked the vital stars and what not.
Once upon a time when I was but a child, my Brother showed me a game so wild.
All I can recall was "Devil may Cry" and "why are my pants wet, oh why".
But which one was it, 1 or 2? I'm talking about the game. not poopoo.
I never found out, I never Knew.
Untill i came here. Thank you.
Definitely my favorite video on this subject
Thanks for making this video..You Rock!!
The dmc5 hype is so real right now
Dude I love your channel. Great vid, great commentary. I tip my fedora to you, sir
I really need a DMC 1-3 remake. 4 still looking beautiful so I'll let it slide.
I do not care what other say for dmc2 I had good times with dmc 1 and 2 since it was like training to earn higher ranks in combo style...
Capcom did a excellent job with the franchise of the dmc 1-4...I favor the combo styles in all capcom games that did not fail to impress, improve and impeccable...
💯
Very well made video, only one slight thing, Capcom changed the canon timeline. DMC 2 now falls between DMC 1 one and DMC 3 with DMC 5 being set at the very end of the series
Now im confused 🤣
@@-pressxtostart- why
3, 1, anime, 2, 4, dmc5 prequel novel??, 5
@@Hexbox117 that's right
I loved Devil May Cry 2 lol. Mainly because of Lucia though ☺️! She was so badass 👏!
Great vid 🤗
You deserve a million subs. Thank you for what you do
DMC 1 is a masterpiece
I heard that the timeline was retconned. That now 2 takes place before 4. Which doesn’t make sense but idk can someone confirm?
I’m a fan of DMC series. I’ve only played 3, 4, and DmC and V. I played the DmC demo and was not pleased so I skipped it. I owned DMC3 on PS2 and never beat it. I owned DMC4 on 360 and beat it and that is my favorite right now. Then played the SE on PC because my friend shared it with me and that proved that I still love that game. It felt shorter tho oddly enough. I remember grinding like crazy to get all Nero upgrades. But anyway, great video thanks for the history!
Dante goes to hell at the end of 2 riding a motorcycle. In this one we see Dante riding a motorcycle when he comes back. It may not make sense but I do not like DMC2. So I’m okay if they keep moving forward from this entry. DMC5 looks like it’s going to tie up everything and lead into a new story.
How have you played 5? It's not out yet....
Uhuh Yesm no I played the demo.
J Mack24 yeah it doesn’t fit because Dante had more of a grim personality then all of a sudden went CRRAZYY again in DMC4.
U deserve more subs

I actually love love love dmc 2013. It's freaking sweet
This channel is almost as demon like as sparda himself! You deserve many more likes and subs, buddy!
I agree with the misstep Capcom made for the reboot. The reboot Dante is seriously a step down from the OG Dante.
I played devil may cry 1 and 3 on ps2, and they were two of my favourite games ever. Devil may cry 4 was awesome, and never had a problem. The next game, DMC with donte (as people call him) it's not bad at all. I actually enjoy that story and that take on devil my cry og canon. The combat was great and fluid, and the visuals were incredible. It's a cool game, and we should just consider it a side story. One that you could enjoy separately. Stop hating on DmC. Can't wait to play Devil may cry V, I already pre-ordered it!
And dmc2? You didnt mention it at all.
You are the best history teacher
my favorite games in the Devil May Cry series rain from this Devil May Cry 1 DmC Devil May Cry 2 for than 3 when 5 comes out I am so excited for it and again if anyone ever wants to have a conversation about DmC Devil May Cry with me say I am more than welcome because I know what's like anyone else that there is so much that when it wrong in development I know why it had to be made and if I'm being fair you still think I'm the more mature out of anyone who has played it and has viewed it yeah that's contradictory to how I've acted it across anything related to the game but I've grown I've matured in my opinions and I'm looking at both sides when it comes to the reboot I still love it and anyone else is free to hate it but you need to hear me out on my new viewpoints at the very least
Yo that intro track was hard as fuck
I keep hearing about how DMC4 is a step down in the boss department, but DMC3 has a lot of BAD bosses while in DMC4 only sanctus and the savior suck while the rest are at least good and i think it has the best boss in the franchise so far in the form of Angelo Credo.
I love dmc4
Well every single boss in DMC3 had a unique way to fight it like Beowulf you have to hit its eye. Or Cerberus where you can tell what the attack patterns will be when the heads turn. But in DMC4 the really only have slash at it until its down than grab it. Also Vergil is a superior boss with story, development, and the many ways you can go about fighting him
@@sanimonz1831 Well, if you mention only the good bosses of course they're interesting, but centipede, horse, jester, arkham and a few more suck. DMC4 bosses also have weakpoints and unique parries for Nero.
Vergil has a better build up, but the fight itself i still think Credo is better, he has fun patterns to dodge, spears to parry and a shield to break... While Vergil has a few moments where you can't attack him at all or when he goes DT it's kind of pointless to engage since he has super armor.
@@night1952 actually jester and horse were pretty well designed with horse being the boss the reward your jumping skils and jester made you have to use dodging to be able to beat it. Also you have vergils fight all wrong your supposed to attack him in DT because he will heal and make the fight harder. Thats why you could use any of the many ways to beat him like block it all with royal guard, use gunslinger to put good damage from range when he is DT, use sword master to make him hurt quick and use dodge to avoid him or use trickster and keep dodging durning his DT. And thats not even Including the strategys that come from weapon combos or gun combos. Where in comparison there is really only one way to fight creado making it a very unreplayable fight but also one that isnt as rewarding
@@sanimonz1831 oh yeah, the jumping mechanics dmc is known for. Jester is just annoying to fight, dodging his attacks is no big deal, it's just boring, and 3 times doesn't help.
Actually, the way to fight dt vergil is to pop dt yourself, and melee him while dodging, but that's the pro way, until you master his patterns you're just going to eat sword. About the many ways to fight vergil, that's just because there's no style switching, and trickster feels redundant and gunslinger is literally useless, it's just chip damage. Credo can be fought using 5 different characters and with dante having 5 styles at once, so there's your replayability.
I know, and love dmc games, i played 100s of hours in bloody palace to buy weapons and rewards
Where did Dante & vergil learned their fighting skills
Vergil read books and taught himself and dante made his own style
DmC wasn't a commercial success, it fell far below their expectations
I preordered DMC5 purely due to how amazing RE2 remake was. Nothing really compares to the original Devil May Cry, in which the positioning of your protagonist Dante is a critical part to chaining multiple enemies within your hitbox. This is similar to the positioning mechanic in Dark Souls, which however doesn't function in the same manner. Anyway, it'd be splendid if they might bring the gothic vibe back to the new installment.
DMC4 should have been about Virgil’s journey in the Demon Realm, from the end of DMC3 all the way up to DMC1.
DMC4 was a misstep in my opinion.
I hate DMC4. It is the true meaning of suffering.
Great video, man. DMC5 wasn't a disappointment but did you like it?
2013 still beats in my heart with that dlc
ive play dmc quite alot specially dmc3 didnt i finish 4 once but my personal opinion dmc3 are the best
Hey Nick can you compare tactical shooters such as arma3, squad, tannenberg, verdun, postscriptum and insurgency sandstorm ?
He says dmc 5 takes place between dmc 4 and 2… that’s can’t be possible because Dante and Beto first meet each other in dmc4 and by dmc 5 Dante already looks a little older and Dante and Nero already known each and are now allies
I was playing through the originals recently, and holy fuck is it difficult. Haven't played something like that in a long time.
I LOVED NINJA THEORY DMC!
yaaaaaaaaas. Ninja Theory is awesome. Too bad people hated DmC. It really should have just been an original IP, then it would have gotten way better reception and had it's own competitive series to DMC and Bayonetta.
History of Legacy of Kain please!
Hey Nick930 ..... I’m also a Nick, with my name being Nicola in all lol
I like your series of “History of ....” segments that your doing, but if I may could you pleeeeease do the “Legacy of Kain series”
In terms of the timeline of we’re gonna be honest, DMC 2 could not exist and the story would be the same so
Anyone else noticed the red orbs kinda look like Behelits from Berserk
the reboot had good reviews but the sales were pretty bad, which is why they went back to form and made DMC5. It's one of the best instances of consumer victories in video games
The re-release of DmC helped balance out the sales. They started off poorly, but overtime the game sold decently enough. It wasn't a monumental flop.
despite dmc is hated. this game is what got me into the series. i hated hack and slash to now i actively sick them out becoz of this. but i understand why long term fans arent happy with the changes.
You sound like Kermit the Frog from the Muppets 🐸
nope
Imagine if they didnt find out about the bug
The world is a big place
How did I never see this one? I love DmC and the History videos, but somehow have never seen this one. And why does it have such a low view count?
Ask youtube.. been wondering that for years. History of Medal of Honor is super low too.
@@Nick930 The God of War one is also quite low but nonetheless still very enjoyable. And now after watching the absolutely astonishing, almost 3 hour long Metal Gear documentary which blew my expectations out of the water I do hope it does as well as your GTA or Resident Evil History videos. And I hope your content will continue to amaze me (Really excited for the other documentary in October) and continue to give me enjoyment, whether it's a History video or a Direct Comparison I will keep returning to this channel as it is very high quality and I hope every other viewer of your videos agrees with me and will do so aswell.
Thank you Nick for taking your time to make these videos and making thousands of other strangers on the internet happy watching you.

this is example that even after huge failure you can get up with the BANG there is no bad developers there is only who cares about the games and those who dont
So like there are bad developers and good developers
I have all of the games and DmC
I may cry if you dont get more subs
You should do a History of the Yakuza game franchise
great video!!?!
Excellent video! As others have already noted in their comments the timeline has changed thankfully. Here are a few of my opinions. DMC 2 is so irrelevant to the rest of the series and should be disregarded. DMC 3 and DMC 4 are my favorites in terms of gameplay and combat. DMC 3 has the best plot in the series. However, I think DMC 1 has the most memorable enemies, environments, soundtrack, and best atmosphere. I think games after DMC 1 don't quite have that horror and eerie atmosphere that I really enjoyed. DMC 4 in particular felt too bright in many portions of the game. I'm definitely looking forward to DMC 5. I already have a feeling it will be best in the series as far as pretty much everything I mentioned above.
Might try the new game . Looks ok
Oh man, haven't played DMC1 in a few years, forgot about the scissor demons. I hate all those black cloak demons, the scissors in 1, the first miniboss in 3, the cloaked Freddy Kruger like insects in 4. There's probably some annoying one in 5.
You didn't talk about being able to play as Trish in DMC2, as I think that's one of the best parts of the game. Admittedly you do have to beat the game twice (on hard mode) to unlock her, but she plays like DMC1 Dante rather than DMC2 Dante.
I'm also surprised you didn't bring up the special editions for either 3 or 4 and how they changed up the games.
Gud...can you please do a History on Need for Speed
Now Metal Gear next please
I have all the footage for a Metal Gear video, but I have a few more big ones in the works before I get to that point
@@Nick930 alright Nick just do the job I have a fatith on you 😇😁
Was it just cool to hate on the reboot? I played it and thought it was amazing. Just my opinion.
It was received well by most. Fans just were disappointed to see the series shift away from the original aesthetic. The same thing happened to several different franchises, like Splinter Cell for example.
The game had pretty poor writing with dante being the worst one where when every he tried to do a one liner it either was really cringey or sounded like two kids that found out what cuss words are. Plus the story was pretty bad with the ending being a surprise that made no sense unless you played the 3rd game which is not what a reboot should do. The game also was very easy compared to the other games not really having a lot of room for free flow combos that the series is known for. So its a decent game gameplay wise and a pretty bad story
the reboot was a masterpiece. They really should have just worked on making it an original IP, that way it could continue as a competitor to DMC and Bayonetta. I really think it was a great game and the best DMC game mechanically. OG DMC is way better from a character development/story standpoint.
Wait who said dmc 5 is between dmc 2 & 4???
History of the Witcher series?
Here because I subbed at the resident evil history!!
Can someone please tell me the actual and correct timeline order, please?
The history of DMC is that DMC3 is the greatest game ever made
@The Factual Truth Podcast fax
3 was good but not great
Damn dude, you need to update your take on how the timeline is for the series. It's way off. Other than that though, good video.
Dmc 2 was a masterpiece
I like DMC2
At least Capcom learns from their mistakes unlike EA
Plss do history of prince of persia
3 has always bern the best in the series, 5 looks to change that.
What if Ninja Theory announce DmC: Devil May Cry 2 at E3 this year.......i can hear the fanbase shouting: Not in a million years
Ninja Theory is actually an amazing genius developer. All their games are goddamned masterpieces. If we're being completely honest, the only reason DmC reboot got hated on was because it was called DmC. Had they just came up with a new IP and given the characters their own story, it would have been very well received (in fact, in its CURRENT state its already very well received). Just look at the games Ninja Theory has developed. It's really unfortunate that DmC got hated on for re-imagining Dante, because otherwise its actually a masterpiece of a game (especially DmC Definitive Edition with all the upgrades and new difficulty balances).
20:49 what ? Didnt reboot fail on that part ?
No. Capcom re-released DmC and it helped to close the gap. It's not the most successful game in the series financially, but it wasn't a failure
It's hard calling the second best selling game in the series a "failure" without coming off as biased.
I think vergils more of a anti hero than a villain.
He is, but I'm trying to avoid those spoilers. He's still the antagonist for the better half of DMC3, and he turns somewhat evil in DmC
Nick930 atleast the original vergil (if you read the manga or light novel) you actually learn that he wasn’t just trying to gain power for his own personal use he wanted more power so that what happened to his mom wont happen ever again.
Reminder that Vergil unleashed a demon horde on a city.
Where is Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition amd DmC Definitive edition???
Not enough of a change to warrant a full section to talk about them. I typically wouldn't have included a section about the trilogy collection, but wanted to clarify which version was being shown.
@@Nick930 I get point, you have am awesome channel and I am your new subscriber.
No criticism but for general note you said that the HD collection 2012 and HD collection re release are the same thing. Sort of yes they are but the re release doesn't have those doors with ALLAH written on them which were in 2012 version of DEVIL MAY CRY 3. Other than that I think you did an awesome job. Still I think instead of doing a session you just mentioned Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition and DmC Definitive edition but hey that just me.
ive only played the DMC and i really loved it. i wish the continue it, but i definitely want to check out the original and maybe i would like that one to. Thank you for the video 😁🙌!!!
He really said DMC: Devil May Cry was good 😂
he went easy on it
No. I went off of critical reception, meaning the average of all professional reviews when the game originally released. People liked the game. Fans may not have liked it, but it wasn't a bad game at all, just a different one.
I feel the same way about Splinter Cell Conviction... it's not a good "Splinter Cell" but that doesn't make it a bad game. It's well designed in every sense.
@@Nick930 i remember when DMC: Devil May Cry was anounced people were calling it Devil May Cry 5. Cant wait to get my hands on it
@@Nick930 Correct. DmC reboot was, in my opinion, a masterpiece by a genius developer (Ninja Theory - just go look at their other games). The only issue with DmC reboot is that it's called DmC and uses Dante's character and story. If they had made it an original IP with original characters, it would have been a 10/10, and without the DMC fanbase attacking it. (This is coming from me, a DMC fan who shitted on DmC reboot when it release, THEN decided to actually give it a try and realized how amazing it actually is).
